What You Should Know about the Vostro 1000 Notebook

Multitask to Your Heart's Content and Not Bog Down

This laptop, equipped with at least 3GB of memory, will run all of your programs quickly (paired with a high-end CPU, that much memory will make things especially speedy). You'll be able to multitask to your heart's content, too, so go ahead--you can back up the entire contents of your hard drive to a DVD while watching YouTube videos and experimenting with textures on the 2MB photo of your client's art gallery in Photoshop. The main drawback is the extra expense: Loading up with more than the standard amount of RAM (2GB, these days) can add hundreds of dollars to a laptop's price, though it boosts performance by only about 10 percent. Also bear in mind that if you hope to use more than 3GB of RAM effectively, your PC must have a 64-bit installation of Windows.

Strengths: Reliable price, Bigger LCD screen, Solid exterior

Weaknesses: heavy, Sempron not dual core

Overall Evaluation: Because I was looking for cheap laptop for my older neighborhood, this fits for her need. She doesn't have to be out with this laptop. This is just for in-home use bringing back and forth between rooms and kitchen. Bigger screen helps her surf what her needs through websites. Because she doesn't do multi-tasking works, it has enough CPU, Video, and Memory. Just it. If you are a person who does multi-tasking, stat software running while listening a music, this would be getting slower. If you want to bring it out of home, well... just imagine it yourself.I would suggest it substituting a desktop for just general light use.
